'Ook and the Blue Wheels' by Luka Pinto

The amount of test animations Luka made to prepare for this final animation have ensured that he has really maximised the potential for movement in his work. Sometimes the jumping of shots where he has photographed the frames without a tripod or seeing the photographer's shadow at the edge of the frames makes the animation look crude but it could also be seen to go along with the rebelliousness of the story. The action is fast paced, Luka had a lot that he wanted to fit into this short film, a great deal of the story has already been edited in the development of this piece. But again the speed fits the story and the music. The time-lapse animation is brilliantly done, tiny glimpses of great drawings flash past, you have to watch it again and again.
